So, here we go, with a little, creepy story:
When I was a little girl, about 8 years old, I got my first Geography book at school. So, I figured I would see ALL the stars & galaxies & stuff that's out there in the universe in its freaking awesomeness! Now, picture a 8 year old, super disappoin ...more
